An OSHA investigation proposes a $300,000 fine, finding the company failed to protect an employee who fell from an unsecured forklift attachment.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is issuing a $300,000 fine to a steel wire manufacturer in the death of a worker in February.Federal investigators found a wire manufacturer could have prevented an employee’s death by following workplace safety standards, and issued two willful citations and proposed almost $300,000 in penalties.
The company had tasked workers with moving material from the plant to another WMC location as the company prepared to close the San Antonio facility, according to a“WMC San Antonio ignored the well-documented dangers of using unauthorized forklift attachments and an employee’s family, friends and co-workers are left to grieve their loss,” stated Alex Porter, who serves as OSHA’s area director in San Antonio.
According to its website, WMC is a “family-owned company” that offers “custom steel wire solutions” and “values the safety and well-being of all team members as our number one priority.”
